Darick Maasen Creates a Realistic Version of the Koopa Paratroopa

So far, people have seen the likes of hyper-real Pokemon and Simpsons characters; but wait till you see what Darick Maasen has in store for gamers.

Even if you haven't played Mario, you'll probably recognize the Koopa Paratroopa character, which is a turtle with a red shell that has wings attached to it. If you've never imagined what this reptilian creature would look like in real life, Darick Maasen's hyper-real version of the character will give you a pretty good idea. The artist has created a taxidermy version of the Koopa Paratroopa with the red and white shell complete with wings. I'd say that this is an accurate representation.
